MW 1.11.0 - Short URLs broken - editing index.php
by Trevor Wennblom 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

For my wiki-farm I've been using this technique for clean URLs with Apache: .htaccess Options FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php/title=$1 [L,QSA] LocalSettings.php $wgScriptPath = "/wiki"; $wgArticlePath = "/$1"; Same as detailed here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#.htaccess_2 After upgrading to 1.11 viewing the pages still work, but when I attempt to edit a page it insists on creating and editing a new page called "Index.php". Any ideas?

Per-Page Access Restrictions
by Michael B Allen 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

A disclaimer was added to the Plexcel plugin page that reads (in part): "MediaWiki was not written to provide per-page access restrictions, and almost all hacks or patches promising to add them will likely have flaws somewhere" I would like to add a similar disclaimer to our documention but I would like to better understand the particular failure scenarios. Can someone provide an example? Currently we just do a caseless wildcard comparison on the title (e.g. 'Employee_Performance_*'). I suppose there are alternative ways to retreive page data that do not use the title of the page? Thanks, Mike

syntax for captioning and reducing an image without link
by Frank Fulchiero 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

We are trying to put captions below images and reduce them at the same time in MediaWiki. We can live with or without a frame. However, we don't want the little button showing that links to the full size image. For example, as in Example 7 here http://nutmeg.conncoll.edu/wiki/index.php/Images_Help But without the little boxes link, as in Example 4 (but this image is not resized, it's full size) We would rather resize in MediaWiki and not before uploading. We tried everything, but ran out of ideas, I think I hit all the on- line help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Extended_image_syntax http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Images etc, etc... Is this possible and if so how? Thanking anyone for help. Frank Fulchiero Digital Media Specialist Connecticut College

HTTPS for Login Only No Longer Possible with 1.11?
by Michael B Allen 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi All, In previous releases it was possible to do authentication under HTTPS and then redirect the client to HTTP with a Location header as described here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Configuration_tips_and_tricks#HTTPS_on_… But it seems with 1.11 something has changed as the session is destroyed when flipping back to HTTP. In fact, the session isn't initialized at all for unauthenticated users. Is that by design? Is there an option to change this behavior? Without being able maintain the session while transitioning from HTTPS to HTTP theres no way to use the login form securely short of simply using HTTPS all the time. To reproduce, login under HTTPS. Then go to HTTP and you should see that you're no longer logged in. Thanks, Mike

Tagalog localization
by Richard K Miller 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, Wikipedia has a Tagalog localization (tl.wikipedia.org). However, when I install Mediawiki on my own server, I can't find Tagalog in the list. Likewise, if I choose "My Preferences" from English Wikipedia is not in the list of languages. Where can I get this special Tagalog localization? Best regards, Richard

PdfExport and Monobook
by Carlos Jorge Andrade 20 Sep '07

20 Sep '07

Hi, When using PdfExport, this extension user a hook called MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd to include the pdflink in the toolboox (list of links on the left). Using it on my wiki, doesn't render the pdf link. Changing the skin to monobook it does. Checking the hooks list it describes the MonoBookTemplateToolboxEnd hook as 'Called by Monobook skin after...'. Does this hook only run when using the Monobook skin ? Is there a similar hook that does the same thing using a skin with other name ? Does PdfExport work in other skins ? Thanks.
